Since the mission was nominally here to inspect, it was to stay for a few days in the Earldom of Meredith, and the exact time of departure was to be determined by Princess Sylvia.

Renard knew that this was what King Ferdinand meant, in order to find out the strength of the realm and prepare for his next move.

Lei Ye is a real person, since the other party wants to know how strong his strength is, he is too lazy to hide it, and shows it all.

Just in time, on the third day of the mission's arrival, the demons of the caving pit were ready to move, and a small number of demons came straight to the county of Meredith.

Of course, the 'small part' was only the opinion of Lei Ye and the others, and in the eyes of Sylvia and other mission members, the army of fifty or sixty thousand demons was no less than a small demon tide.

The Earl of Meredith commanded the Sky Knights, the Cavalry Regiment, the Infantry Regiment, and the Firearms Corps to fight in unison, with the slogan of exterminating the demons.

However, in the minds of the sergeants, this battle was barely equivalent to a combat exercise, and in the past, they only needed to dispatch two cavalry regiments or three infantry regiments to destroy the same number of demons.

The members of the mission watched the short battle on griffins, and as for how short it was, it would be hilarious to say it, and even the organization time far exceeded the battle time.

The demon army was almost crushed at the touch of a button, and the low-level demons, as the vanguard team, did not play any role at all, and were directly bombarded into slag by the firearms army.

Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that it didn't work, at least when they were running and fleeing, they indirectly disrupted the formation of the middle and high demons in the rear.

The war was so violent and bloody that it was hard to look at, and many members of the mission even felt some sympathy for the demons who were wailing under artillery fire and butcher knives.

The war began early in the morning, officially began at ten o'clock, and entered the final stage before half past ten, and the battlefield began to be cleaned before lunch.

Reynard looked at the infantry who were mending their swords on the battlefield, and snapped his fingers with a relaxed expression: "Very exciting battle, time control is also very good, we can go back to enjoy a hearty lunch now." ”

Sylvia looked at the severed limbs below, and the blood that covered the entire plain, and felt a little disgusted: "Forget it, I don't have the appetite you have. ”

Her heart was complicated at this time, and she hoped that the county of Meredith would be strong, so that it could effectively reduce the pressure exerted by the demons on the northern part of the kingdom.

At the same time, she also hoped that the county of Meredith would be weak, so that there would be less resistance when recovering the Southern Wilderness County in the future, at least not in a dragon fight.

With this complicated feeling, Sylvia followed Lei Ye back to the castle.

Heidi had already ordered a feast to be set up, and when she saw everyone returning, she smiled and asked, "How's the harvest?"

She spoke in a more relaxed tone than Lei Ye, as if everyone was not going to fight the demon army at all, but to hunt in a ravine.

Princess Sylvia smiled a little reluctantly, "The battle went very well, and this is the most coordinated and obedient army I have ever seen. ”

Heidi tilted her head in disbelief and explained, "They've fought more than once on this scale, and this is probably what people often say. ”

After everyone had eaten lunch and were enjoying afternoon tea, the results of the battle were reported.

Twenty-four cavalry were killed, eighty-nine were seriously wounded, more than four hundred were lightly wounded, no one was killed in the infantry, seven were seriously wounded, and forty-three were lightly wounded, and the Sky Knights were intact.

Because the firearms army and the cavalry regiment were the main force in this battle, the cavalry regiment suffered large casualties, and the other branches of the army were only responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and the casualties were very small and almost negligible.

The demon army suffered heavy losses, the low-level demons were strangled and killed a full 40,000, and the number of middle-level and high-level demons was not much, and they fled quickly when they saw that the situation was not good, so they were only killed about 2,000.

Such a result was not a big victory for the sergeants of the Earl of Meredith, not even a small victory, and the motley legion that was now slaying demons could not arouse their interest at all.

What does it mean to be a ragtag army?

Evenly matched, poorly equipped, and disorganized, their opponents were the Count Meredith's ace cavalry troops, and knights armed to the teeth would not have taken these guys seriously.

Sylvia couldn't keep her mouth shut in surprise when she saw the numbers on the table, she was sure that even the most elite troops in the kingdom would not be able to perform such a proud battle against the same number of demons.

She did not hesitate to praise herself: "Count Heidi, the combat effectiveness of your troops is truly impressive. ”

Heidi shrugged her shoulders, turned her gaze to Renard, and said, "It's all my husband's work, I've never cared about military affairs. ”

Sylvia looked at Lei Ye, her eyes became more complicated, she was silent for a long time, and she smiled bitterly: "How come I didn't see that you have such a great ability before." ”

Lei Ye thought about it and didn't know how to answer, he could only say ambiguously: "It's man-made, Amnata wasn't built in a day, and the army of the Earl of Meredith has such a strong combat effectiveness, which is inseparable from everyone's efforts." ”

Sylvia gave an undeniable expression, "So what are you going to do next?"

Reynard looked at her, not knowing what he was trying to say.

Sylvia took a deep breath: "According to the demon's style of acting, they have suffered such a big loss, they must fight back violently." ”

Lei Ye nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, but there's nothing to worry about, I think you've seen the fortresses in the northern part of the territory, and those fortresses are our guarantee for the demons to have no return." ”

Sylvia looked down and pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Firearms Army?"

She had learned more about the county of Meredith before she came, and knew that there was a decent firearms unit here, which was used exclusively for defensive purposes.

Renard didn't deny it, he said with a smile: "If you are interested, when the demon army comes back, we can go to the front line to watch the battle in person." ”

Lei Ye's so-called front line, naturally watching the demon charge in the fortress, and then watching the demons fall under the muzzle and artillery, he smiled a little evil and cruel: "That kind of scene will be unforgettable for a lifetime." ”

The firearms army against the poorly equipped demon army is equivalent to using the firearms equipment of the 19th century to fight the knights of the 16th century, and the bloody scene cannot be described with the word slaughter.

Sylvia thought about it, and finally gave up the idea of watching the battle, after all, there was enough shock to her today.

Besides, the mission she came here has been completed, and there is no need to shoehorn the bloody and brutal scenes into her head.

Sylvia looked at Heidi and said, "If I can, can I look at the construction work in the county." ”

Now that the military forces have been investigated, it is natural to look at other aspects.

Heidi nodded nondeniably: "It's an honor, I just don't have anything to do during this time, so I'll accompany you around." ”
